1) After Laura Muir was (almost) denied the chance to celebrate her 1500m win in Belgrade this weekend, we’ve been thinking about overly-officious officials, which is satisfying to type but difficult to say. Here’s the footage of Muir nimbly evading the strict Serb to enjoy her big moment with her union flag. Here’s another classic from the world of athletics, as Derek Redmond does his hamstring in the semi-finals of the 400m at the 1992 Olympics and his determined father, Jim, swats off officials to lend him a leg and get over the line. From the 1978 World Cup, there’s top timekeeper Clive Thomas cancelling out Zico’s neat finish; from 2013, a referee weighs up a heartwarming moment – Al Ittihad striker Jobson doing up opposition goalkeeper Tasir Al Antaif’s laces for him – and books the keeper for taking too long to release the ball; and, well, why not: a Mike Dean classic moments montage.

1)The former England batsman and Yorkshire president John Hampshire died last Wednesday and, given there was a lot of England-West Indies chat on last week’s blog, here’s his century on Test debut, at Lord’s, against the Garfield Sobers-led West Indians of 1969. Test debuts don’t come much better than that. In other England-West Indies related footage, here’s Talismanic Andrew Flintoff being talismanic, 40 years on. Celebrations on point.
